Wow Angus that is one awesome Bream! My biggest was 47cm, but still i dont remember it being as big as the one in your photo. I got it at the mouth a while ago on prawn. Where did you catch it from?

[ando_04]

crap thats a beast is it a see bream of strady ?

[Angus]

Yeah its a Sea Bream.

Funny thing is they get much bigger.

That one hit like a tonne of bricks and gave the surf rod a work out.

I would love to get some of the bigger ones.

They taste better to being from the surf.

Angus.

ive heard of these \"sea bream\" i hear they get rather big

[blue_mako]

hey guys....

angus thats a tarwhine... wel that big 1 is anyway... but yeh they are also called sea bream... and the big ones are normally caught in the surf and off shore, there is also far more bigger tarwhine caught then bigger bream (over 40cms)...... and the little ones are often cort in estuaries skooling with bream and whiting....

the others just look like ordinary yellowfin or black bream.... and are caught far less offshore.... and commonly in the surf and estuaries....

there is another species of bream called the collared sea bream... tarwhine will sometimes school with them as they are an offshore and reef bream

my bigest bream is 42cms to the fork and 1.4kgs and i have a pic but i cant find it... however i have a pic of a 40cm to the fork bream that i will post soon wen i have time...

cheers, troy

p.s. ill post a pic of a collared sea bream also.... [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/collaredseabream.jpg

[BIG DAVE 1]

yeah i agree andus that is a huge bream, where di u get it?

[Brian D]

Mine is about 45cm but I got 6 big one's in one night. Noosa River Full Moon June. Worth a trip just for that sesson.

[BIG DAVE 1]

Ive said this before and i'll say it again, noosa river is an under-rated fishery, in my opinion it is the best fishing location on the sunshine coast.

dave

[blue_mako]

yeh noosa put on quite a show wen me gus and mat went up... lots of surface action... great fun... bream spot is a secret haha

troy

p.s. yeh sori about the quality had to take a pic thru webcm cose my scaner died on me

[Tim a]

[jeff f]

dont know the exact length,didn't measure fish in those days,all that matered was dead weight.

my best bream weighed 7 pounds and was over 2 feet long.

caught on a pilchard on a gang of 4 4/0s off the rocks at burleigh point just on dark way back in winter 1975.

i was 12years old and it almost pulled me off the rock when it hit.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cowfish13]

3.18kg and 60cm+?

I can believe the weight, but the record for bream was 64cm and 4.54kg so anything over 60cm's would have to be heavier. Wouldn't it?

Still, at 3.18kg, wouyld have been a massive fish. Far bigger than mine at something around 800grams. LOL

[werewolf]

don't forget that fish weights vary dramatically depending on season/location etc!!!

[Cowfish13]

I guess. Not taking anything away from the capture. Note- mine is only a pitiful 32cm. lol.

[roobs]

i feel kind of strange complaining about only having 12 inches...
